- Next, a method for automatically parking a vehicle into a battery swap parking space within a battery swap station according to an embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to
Fig. 3 . - As shown in
Fig. 3 , the method S100 comprises a step (S1) of acquiring an image of the ground around the vehicle. In an example, the image of the ground around the vehicle is acquired by the image acquiring unit such as a camera in the vehicle. - In an embodiment, as shown in
Fig. 3 , themethod 100 may further comprise a step (S2) of determining, on the basis of the acquired image, whether the vehicle is located in a parking start area determined by means of prearranged first ground marks. In an embodiment, the control unit such as an electronic control unit (ECU) in the vehicle determines, on the basis of the acquired image inS 1, whether the vehicle is located in the parking start area determined by means of the prearranged first ground marks. - In an example, as shown in
Fig. 3 , themethod 100 may further comprise a step (S3) of determining the position of the vehicle relative to the first ground marks if it is determined that the vehicle is located in the parking start area. In an embodiment, the step of determining, by the control unit such as the electronic control unit (ECU) in the vehicle, the position of the vehicle relative to the first ground marks if it is determined that the vehicle is located in the parking start area. - In an embodiment, as shown in
Fig. 3 , themethod 100 may further comprise a step (S5) of determining a parking path for traveling from the position to the battery swap parking space within the battery swap station based on the position. In an example, the parking path for traveling from the position determined in S3 to the battery swap station within the battery swap station is determined by the control unit such as the electronic control unit (ECU) in the vehicle based on the position. - In an embodiment, as shown in
Fig. 3 , themethod 100 may further comprise a step (S6) of controlling the vehicle to perform a parking operation according to the parking path. In an example, the vehicle is controlled by the control unit such as the electronic control unit (ECU) in the vehicle to perform the parking operation according to the parking path determined in S5. - The above steps of the
method 100 are schematically illustrated inFig. 2 as an example. - As shown in
Fig. 2 , the image acquiring unit of the vehicle acquires for example the image of the ground around the vehicle periodically, and the control unit determines, based on the acquired image, whether the vehicle is located in the parking start area determined by means of the prearranged ground marks extending along the x-axis. The parking start area can be characterized for example by the range of values of horizontal and vertical coordinates of Pt1, that is, in the case where the width direction of the battery swap parking space (the vehicle position where a point Pt5 is located at the lower right inFig. 2 ) is taken as the x-axis direction and the length direction of the battery swap parking space is taken as the y-axis direction, as long as the vehicle is located in an area defined by x1 min to x1 max and y1 min to y1 max (wherein x1 min, x1 max, y1 min and y1 max are constants), it may be determined that the vehicle is located in the parking start area in which the image acquiring unit can accurately identify the ground marks extending along the x-axis. In addition, with regards to the values of x1 min, x1 max, y1 min and y1 max, upon determining the length and width of the battery swap parking space, the ground marks extending along the x-axis are determined, and x1 min, x1 max, y1 min and y1 max are also determined accordingly. - The position of the vehicle relative to the ground marks extending along the x-axis is determined if it is determined that the vehicle is already located in the parking start area, and the parking path for traveling from the position to the battery swap parking space within the battery swap station is determined based on the position. With regards to the parking path, for example, as shown in
Fig. 2 , it is assumed that the vehicle is parked at the position of the point Pt1, at this point, it is determined, based on the current position, that the vehicle travels straight in the forward X-axis direction to a point Pt2 (x2, y2) from the current position as a start point, next travels straight in the reverse X-axis direction from the point Pt2 to a point Pt3 (x3, y3), then is driven to a position Pt4 (x4, y4) along a curve trajectory, and finally directly enters the parking path for the battery swap parking space (the vehicle position where the Pt5 point is located at the lower right ofFig. 2 ). In the parking path, the points Pt1 (x1, y1), Pt2 (x2, y2), Pt3 (x3, y3) and Pt4 (x4, y4) satisfy the following relationship: - > x2 > half of the width of the battery swap parking space + a minimum turning radius which can be reached by the vehicle, and y2 = y1;
- > x3 = x2 - Delta X and y3 = y1, wherein Delta X represents a constant determined according to the movement speed of the vehicle advancing from Pt1 to Pt2; and
- > x4 = x3 - the turning radius of the vehicle, and y4 = y2 - the turning radius of the vehicle.
- After determining the parking path of Pt1→Pt2→Pt3→Pt4→Pt5 described above, the
control unit 102 controls the vehicle to perform the parking operation according to the parking path. - Optionally, in an embodiment, the
method S 100 may further comprise a step (S4) of displaying information for prompting a driver to adjust the position of the vehicle if it is determined that the vehicle is not located within the parking start area. In an example, the information for prompting the driver to adjust the position of the vehicle is displayed by a display unit such as a touch display screen in the vehicle if it is determined that the vehicle is not located in the parking start area. - Optionally, in an embodiment, the
method S 100 may further comprise a step (not shown) of determining whether the vehicle accurately reaches the point Pt4. For example, the control unit such as the electronic control unit (ECU) in the vehicle may determine whether the vehicle accurately reaches the point Pt4 (x4, y4) in order to ensure that the vehicle can reverse and go straight when traveling near the point Pt4 to safely enter the battery swap parking space. If it is determined that the vehicle does not accurately reach the point Pt4 (x4, y4), an image of the ground around the vehicle is reacquired by the image acquiring unit such as a camera in the vehicle, the position of the vehicle relative to the ground marks extending along the y-axis inFig. 2 is determined by the control unit such as the electronic control unit (ECU) in the vehicle based on the reacquired image, and the position is finely adjusted (for example, the position and posture are finely adjusted by moving the vehicle back and forth) so as to allow the vehicle to safely go straight into the battery swap parking space (the vehicle position where the point Pt5 is located at the lower right ofFig. 2 ), wherein the ground marks extending along the y-axis are determined according to the position of the battery swap parking space (the vehicle position where the point Pt5 is located at the lower right ofFig. 2 ). - By means of the method for automatically parking the vehicle into the battery swap parking space within the battery swap station, the vehicle is allowed to be quickly, safely and automatically parked into the battery swap station for battery swapping. The method for automatically parking the vehicle into the battery swap parking space within the battery swap station according to an embodiment of the invention may be applied to a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or the like.
